> > > > Last time I posted I was at the point of trying to make money to get in the poker game, Mandi kindly advised me how to get money by giving the organ grinder's monkey a treat. Only problem is, the game still says I don't have the funds. I tried to check into the rooming house, but the game isn't allowing that either, although I do have more than enough to stay a night(I have 13 dollars) Can someone give me a hint as to how to either a)get some more money, or b)check into the rooming house so I can see what happens there? thanks.

Hey, Mandi. Sorry to bug you again, I know you're busy with your own game. I see what you're getting at with the cooking---I should use the Dutch oven. But I've already been to the general store, still can't buy anything. I hit the "talk to the proprietor" button about a billion times. AND I've already woken the fat guy up...no dice. I don't want you to give me the answer, just suggest the next direction I should set off in.

Just out of curiosity, have you solved all these games? How long have you been playing them? I only came across this website maybe a week ago. I played games of this kind before, but years ago.
